Lovely photos! How nice of a tradition for you to wear the same dress for the weddings!I can't imagine not peeking when you're so close to each other!! Love the last photo under the umbrella with SNOW! Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations to the happy couple! You are all so very blessed. Everything looks so beautiful, and reflects so well the deep beauty of Love and marriage. May God grant them many happy, healthy blessed years together! PS I love your mother-of-the-grooms {and brides to be} dress tradition.

Oh my goodness, what a gorgeous wedding! Love the color palette that complimented the snowy landscape. And the cake! It was a stroke of genius to have a gingerbread cake for a cozy, winter wedding feast. Love, love these kinds of weddings where everyone pitches in, and it is the most beautiful and personal event that a boatload of money could never buy.

Love the gorgeous photos! Ongoing congratulations to your entire family...the enlarging family circle is a joyous season of life!

And you're in good company with your dress: when my oldest brother and I each had weddings the same summer (his in June, mine in August), my mom went to Nordstrom and bought a gorgeous dress, rationalizing that instead of buying two pretty dresses, she was buying ONE gorgeous dress to wear to both weddings. Loved it then, and still smile at the memory now, 34+ years later. :-)

Oh, please, if you don't mind sharing details of the bridal gown. It looks like a blush underlay? What kind of lace? Where did she get it? Your Felix has grown into such a handsome man. And she is as cute as a bug little teeny thing.

I don't know anything at all about the gown--Molly bought it with her mother about one day after she got engaged :) In real life it's a barely-off white (I think) with no blush to the underlay. I'm sure she bought it in NYC.

Molly's mother made the favors--tiny pots of honey packaged with a hand-crocheted rafia coaster.

The photographs were done by a professional friend of Felix's who lives in Atlanta now.

I used a standard cream cheese frosting recipe--I think it was a stick of butter, an 8-ounce package of cream cheese, and 2.5 cups of powdered sugar, but with a bunch of citrus zest, juice, and vanilla in there. You can hardly go wrong.

I just wrapped the frozen layers in foil and ziploc bags and toted them up in an ice chest, then left them in the freezer until it was time to put the cake together the morning of the wedding. The gingerbread is so soft it doesn't even freeze solid, so I didn't thaw it and just kept it refrigerated afterward.

Thank goodness these rustic naked cakes are in style! So much easier than fancy frosting techniques.

Oh my---such loveliness all around! I too am a longtime reader-about 10 years I think--who rarely comments. I love all of what you've shared of this wedding; so unique and special. I think my favorite thing might be the peacock feather boutonniere that Feliz is wearing in the picture with you! ♡

I was wondering how you could top that dress which is perfect for you - smart girl. That deeper neutral color reminds me of the pewter-colored silk suit you found years ago - those tones are great on you. The cake is perfect! And yes, the rustic, half-frostinged look is beautiful when some nature is added. I love the different pale bridesmaid gowns, and can't believe Daisy is almost as tall as Bella.I see that Felix is wearing a feather in that thing on his lapel! Don't know what they're called. (David Suchet used to wear one when he played Poirot; it was a little vase for a posy.) The snow was such a treat for you southerners, I'm sure, and just the proper amount, so nobody had to wear boots. Are they honeymooning in the stone cottage now, or already abroad? Such excitement. :)

As a longtime reader, it's amazing to see the changes the Lord has brought to your family- wonderful changes! I started reading your blog years ago after finding it linked in another homemaking blog. I'm thrilled your family has grown with the addition of these two lovely ladies in 2016! When I started reading, Daisy was just a toddler and Bella was in elementary school! It's been wonderful to follow your family and constantly be inspired by your beautiful home, your lovely sewing and cooking projects, and your strong faith in Jesus Christ!

Photography

Photography is an important part of life at my house. Photos that appear here are taken by Giles, by the Composer, and by me. Giles is a real, paid photographer, and he uses a Sony Alpha. Most of the photography prior to September 2008 is his. Since then I have done most of the shooting and I use a Konica Minolta. Additionally, the Composer offers me nice shots on occasion, often from his little Canon point and shoot. I've given up trying to note who's done what. Thanks for your interest!
